The touchpad behaves weird - two finger tap is interpreted as right-click, click and drag is not working (a double click is needed) and so on. Two finger scrolling (horizontal & vertical) works great.

I want the touch pad to behave the "normal" way (that is - like in my old laptop...). I read the synclient documentation and many of the questions posted here, and I can even make some stuff work. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to make these work:

Click and drag (that is - physically clicking the button and dragging a finger)

Clicking in the right side of the button interpreted as right-click

Clicking button with two fingers interpreted as middle-click.

specs: The touchpad is equipped with a physical button that clicks. Here's the output of xinput list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" | grep Capabilities:

why don't you edit my answer, include everything in there as a unified neat answer for people who may have this issue in future. Leave my suggestions but add more, maybe what I entered may help someone too.

@kmassada I think the best would be to leave the situation as it is - both answers are visible to people who'll search for this problem. Anyhow, thanks for your effort.
